News: The Black Storm, which is finishing up their 2011 fall league season, won the championship in the annual Dick’s Sporting Goods Soccer Classic held in Augusta in August. The girls defeated Charlotte United and Charlotte Soccer Academy in a pair of 4-0 victories en route to the title match. The Black Storm tied Palmetto United from South Carolina, 2-2, in the preliminary round but wound up facing them again in the tourney finals and won 4-2. Hannah Farmer scored three goals in the championship game.

Quote: “Me and coach (Jeremy Aven) are certainly proud of what all the girls are accomplishing this season. They work hard together as a team, and they show great discipline in whether they win or lose. It’s not about who wins, or loses, but about just having fun,” coach Emily Andone said.
